Unbelievable Touchdown Pass

If you think you've seen everything that can happen on a football field, guess again, and watch this. I don't think it was planned (who'd be insane enough?), but even if it was, it was an amazing play.

It relevant in revealing that your post was devoid of any evidence that you had read the thread. That there is nothing in the thread that resembled what you said solidified the case. It was just that tired, simplistic downright childish assertion that any namecalling or nastiness must, and only must, be caused by lack of confidence in what you are arguing. Counterexamples abound, and the irony is that the most obvious are arguments with small children, who can drive one mad, and to nastiness and anger, simply by their consistent density and lack of intellectual rigor.

Evolution deniers argue like children, and your post was a Grade A example of that.

About Me

I have a mathematics background, an interest in science, and an unapologetic impatience for sloppy thinking. This puts me at odds with both right and left. It's high time the rational scientific viewpoint got the rabid proponent it deserves. I fight nonsense so the scientists don't have to. The blog is not necessarily about science, but rather is a scientific view of the world. Rational, civilly expressed, factually supported thought-out opposing views are welcome. Disparaging, irrational, intentionally obtuse, troll-like whack-a-mole, quote-mining posts will be dispatched without hesitation or apology, as will tit-for-tat partisan "the other side does it too" political gamesmanship, and opinions of what topics I should be writing about. We don't do that here.
